PHILLIES MANIA

Posted on October 31, 2008

Everywhere I go people are smiling while wearing their red and blue. All of my students have been excited about it- and with Halloween coming tomorrow that’s impressive for 3-5 year olds!

In addition to working today, I had quite the adventure. I was out last night, on my lunch, after work, and tonight trying to scoop up all the Phillies gear I could.

Here was the scene last night at Modells in Montgomeryville. The line went across the parking lot all the way to Knapp Road. We did NOT attempt to stand in line!

Today, I had to get newspapers for Dad, Devon, JP and Jamie (I looked at the hospital, gas stations, grocery stores, and convenience stores and finally found 4 Daily News at Redners).

I also had to get 2 tshirts and a hat, for JP and I.

Devon was at Modells in a huge line so I ran there during my lunch break. I quickly piled a hoodie for JP, baby bib and little teddy bear for Baby D (hey, they experienced it in the womb- it can hear now haha) on Lily’s stroller. I gave her a blank check then headed back to work.

After that, I headed to the mall and found our tshirts at JC Penney, but no hats were left anywhere:(

I came home exhausted and slept for 3 hours. JP went to the mall to see if the second shipment of hats arrived at Champs as promised. It did! He came home and laughed to see me still asleep as it had been dark outside for an hour or two.
He tried on his tshirt and … it was SNUG! OH NO! So….we did what any fans would do- headed back to the mall. There were NO SHIRTS! We were walking toward the food court for some dinner for JP and a smoothie for me, and I spotted them! We got JP the next size, stopped at the food court and headed home.

WOW.

Though most of the city is on a high, some poops were destructive last night- here is JP’s old office:

Yikes.

I can’t wait to sleep again!

THEY DID IT!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies!!!!!!!!!!

Last they won JP and my sister were just BORN (I was just a twinkle in my mother’s eye), so its fitting that they win in 08 when Lily was born and Baby D is in utero:)
